function varargout=wfdbdesc(varargin)

 [siginfo,Fs]=wfdbdesc(recordName)

    Wrapper to WFDB WFDBDESC:
         http://www.physionet.org/physiotools/wag/wfdbde-1.htm

 Reads a WFDB record metadata and returns:


 signal
       Nx1 vector of siginfo structures with the following fields:

       LengthSamples           : Number of samples in record (integer)
       LengthTime              : Duration of record  (String WFDB Time)
       RecordName              : Record name (String)
       RecordIndex             : Record Index (Integer)
       Description             : Signal Description (String)
       SamplingFrequency       : Sampling Frequency w/ Units (String)
       File                    : File name (String)
       SignalIndex             : Zero Based Signal Index (Integer)
       StartTime               : Start Time (String WFDB Time)
       Group                   : Group (Integer)
       AdcResolution           : Bit resolution of the singal (String)
       AdcZero                 : Physical value for 0 ADC (double)
       Baseline                : Physical zero level of signal (Integer)
       CheckSum                : 16-bit checksum of all samples (Integer)
       Format                  : WFDB's Format of the samples (String)
       Gain                    : ADC units per physical unit (String)
       InitialValue            : Value of sample 1 in the signal (Integer)
       IO                      : IO Type  (String)

 Fs   (Optional)
       Nx1 vector of doubles representing the sampling frequency of each
       signal in Hz (if the 'SamplingFrequency' string is parsable).

 Required Parameters:

 recorName
       String specifying the name of the record in the WFDB path or
       in the current directory.
